It features autoexposure, autofocusing from 50&nbsp;mm to infinity, and video capture at 30 frames per second in 24-bit color with a variety of shutter speeds. However, the iSight has an image delay of approximately 120 [[millisecond|ms]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}

The iSight incorporates internal [[microphone]]s with dual-element [[noise suppression]]. The actual camera only takes up one-quarter of the unit; the remaining space is primarily occupied by its two microphones and mounting socket.{{citation needed|date=April 2013}}

The iSight camera weighs 2.3&nbsp;ounces (63.8&nbsp;grams). It uses a single FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394a) cable (included) for audio, video, and power.
